I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and enjoyed their time with loved ones.

I am back to work today and happy about that. Not that I don't love my family to pieces but 3 days of celebrating is a bit much for me. Growing up it was always just my parents and sister and I for the holidays. Now it is 3 days of celebarating with at least 25 people at each party. It is still a little overwhelming after all the years I have been married. All in all the kids enjoyed their holiday and Santa didn't disappoint.

I ate way too much food and am pumped to go to the gym today. I had a hard time taking my wedding band off this morning to take a shower and I believe it to be because of all the food I consumed! I am looking forward to an extra long workout today since I get out of work early and can dedicate some real time to it. Guess it is becoming a habit, this exercising thing

Among other things I received $50 for Christmas. Can someone please tell me to use it to pay down debt?! My mind is already racing with all the options of things I could buy. Not that I need any of it but I feel myself slipping into that old "I deserve a present, don't I?" mentality that does my financial life no good. I have to just deposit it into my checking account and send it off to one of the credit cards. Lord, give me strength!!
